"The Eve of the Deluge" is a notable oil painting by the 19th-century Scottish artist William Bell Scott, completed in 1865. The painting is steeped in the Pre-Raphaelite style, which Scott was associated with, although he was never formally a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This movement was known for its highly detailed, vivid, and colorful works, often with themes drawn from literature, mythology, and the Bible.

In "The Eve of the Deluge," Scott illustrates a scene inspired by the biblical story of Noah's Ark, as recounted in the Book of Genesis. The narrative describes the period just before the Great Flood, a time when humanity is said to have been consumed by sin and corruption, prompting God to cleanse the earth with a deluge. Scott's interpretation of this moment captures the foreboding atmosphere of the imminent catastrophe. The painting is characterized by its dramatic sky, which looms over the figures in the landscape, suggesting the impending doom.

The artwork is a reflection of Scott's interest in combining historical and literary themes with a moral message, a common practice among Pre-Raphaelite artists. "The Eve of the Deluge" is also indicative of the Victorian fascination with biblical subjects, which were often used to comment on contemporary society and its perceived moral decay.

While the painting is not as widely recognized as the works of leading Pre-Raphaelites like Dante Gabriel Rossetti or John Everett Millais, it is an important example of the broader influence of the movement on British art of the period. "The Eve of the Deluge" is part of the collection of the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
